We’re excited to announce that a dedicated salt room is on the way to The Hidden Trough in Aiken. Powered by two Halo generators, it will be Aiken’s first salt room—designed for quiet, restorative sessions that support clearer breathing, calmer skin, and deeper relaxation.
What Is Halo Therapy?
Halo Therapy (also called dry salt therapy) uses a halogenerator to grind pure pharmaceutical-grade salt into extremely fine particles and release them into the air. You’ll simply sit back, breathe normally, and let the salt do its work. Unlike humidifiers or steam, the particles are dry and small enough to reach deep into the airways and settle gently on the skin.
In our room we will run two Halo generators so the salt is evenly distributed throughout the entire space, creating a consistent and effective session.
Benefits of Halo Therapy
Here are the top 20 benefits most often associated with dry salt therapy:
Sessions are usually 15–45 minutes, and the benefits build with regular visits.
Halo Therapy + Massage
Once the salt room opens, we will be able to add Halo Therapy to any of our massages. Pairing the two creates a deeper, more complete wellness experience. While the salt works on your airways and skin, the massage releases muscle tension and improves circulation. Many guests find the combination especially effective for stress relief, better sleep, and that overall “reset” feeling—leaving you both more relaxed in your body and clearer in your breathing. It’s a simple way to elevate any massage into a fuller restorative session.
What to Expect
Sessions will typically run 10–45 minutes. There’s nothing special you need to do—just settle in and breathe. The experience is simple and restful, and it will pair well with our facials, massage, or other treatments once available at our boutique med spa.

We’ve put together a short video so you can get a feel for the space and the benefits while we finish preparations.
Coming Soon
The salt room is currently being prepared and will open soon at The Hidden Trough. We’re looking forward to welcoming you for Halo Therapy sessions as Aiken’s first salt room.
Stay tuned for the official opening date. In the meantime, you can still book all of our current treatments online or by calling the spa.
